[Greenman]

Although I suppose I am biased towards the New Economics ideas, I don't 
think the openMoney stuff was not art. It was social art - or a kind of 
social engineering if you want to look at it in a negative way - and is a 
very Net orientated system. Perhaps it differed from normal stuff in the 
fact that it's goals were serious, and maybe Michael takes his subject 
matter very seriously.

I thought the night had a good balance of fun experiments and good thought 
provoking stuff.
